Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryWell, I am back from my jollies and can't wait to recover from my jet lag and get out into the garden. The first early potatoes in the greenhouse are like triffids. I have had a walk round and inspected everything but am not up to actually doing anything. I am at work Thursday and Friday then have the long weekend off so weather permitting I will be gardening

Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diary all looking good. You've got loads of stuff out already ... putting me to shame.
Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryLL, I doubt I will ever put you to shame.
The rain has done the garden good, but now I would like some sun please The carrots are showing through but don't look fantastic. The celeriac seeds in the greenhouse are very slow germinating, haven't grown any before so not sure if it is normal. Green couchettes are panted out but the golden one from my friend is not quite big enough as yet. I have been given 2 pumpkin plants which are ready to go out and a number of small squash plants but they are still a little small (no idea where I am going to put them all) So up to now this s a list of what I hope will produce a crop First early and main crop potatoes Broad beans Red and white onions Garlick Spring onions Runner beans Carrots Cabbage Cauliflower Broccoli Sprouts Peas Lettuce Cucumber Rocket Tomatoes Chillis Peppers Radish Celeriac Sweet corn Turnip Fennel Strawberries Gooseberries Black currants Raspberries Pak choi Hope fully some fruit from the dwarfe trees for a bumper crop [center][/center]Davina
Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryGreat list of crops you,ve got in Davina. Hope they all do well for you...
Dont ever grow up, its a trap
Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryThanks Bob, didn't realize I had quite so much until I listed it all. It hasnt stopped raining for 2 days now and it's quite cool, just as I decided to risk it and put my runner beans and courgettes outdoors . Ooohhhh the joys of vegetable gardening, glad I'm not a farmer.

Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryLinda, she was eyeing up the newly planted veggies
Last week as I was planting up the brassicas it was like a scene from a comedy, I was planting at one end, the girls were eating them from the other, I was shooing one girl away and another girl was sneaking in behind me neighbour was laughing at me Today I plan to put the rest of the tomatoes into their final place, plant the Squash and pumpkins outdoors. The sweet corn don't yet look big enough to go out. The celeriac are only just starting to produce their true leaves. I think that will be everything for me, unless I come across any cheap plants whilst I am out and about, I will have a tiny bit of space left so you never know [center][/center]Davina
Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryNot done my jobs yet but a few more pics
Courgette It has some tiny flowers Cucumber, seems to be slow growing A strawberry Sweet corn in PT, I am sure I will be told they are too close together but it is an experiment to see how they do in there Chilli plant, although only small it does have some buds Ok now I need to go do some jobs [center][/center]Davina
Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryBeautiful morning here, GH and PT watered, work calling, but firstly a few pics.
The flowers our fruit and veg produce are stunning, but I don't think I appreciate them enough Broad bean flowers, with a bee collecting its food Strawberry flower Close up pics Herbs Lettuce Green house planted up now PT produce really moving now [center][/center]Davina
Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diary lovely photos. Everything looks great. And I do like that ornamental pot with the herbs in.
Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryLL, the pot is an indoor one, but I decided I had had enough of it and told a friend she could take it to a car boot sale, but hubby commandeered it instead and it had been outdoors for over a year, I am surprised it survived the winter. Now it has a more suitable place, I love growing herbs.
